Description: Leaf spots amphigenous, sub-circular, up to 4 mm diam, uniformly black, although older lesions can appear grey at centre due to separation of the cuticle. Mycelium internal, subhyaline, smooth, consisting of branched, septate hyphae, 2-3 µm wide. Caespituli fasciculate, amphigenous, white on leaves, up to 60 µm wide and 90 µm high. Conidiophores aggregated in loose fascicles arising from the upper cells of a brown stroma up to 30 µm wide and 20 µm high; conidiophores hyaline to pale brown towards stroma, smooth, 2-6-septate, subcylindrical, straight to variously curved, unbranched or branched below, 20-80 x 3-4 µm. Conidiogenous cells terminal, unbranched, hyaline, smooth, tapering to flat-tipped apical loci, proliferating sympodially, 20-40 x 2-3 µm; loci thickened, darkened, refractive. Conidia catenulate, in branched chains, hyaline, smooth, but appearing verruculose when mounted in lactic acid, subcylindrical-fusiform to ellipsoid with rounded to attenuated ends, straight, larger conidia somewhat curved, 0(-1)-septate; hila thickened, darkened, refractive; ramoconidia (14-)17-26(-30) x 2.5-3 µm; secondary conidia (5-)7-10(-15) x 2.5-3 µm. Cultural characteristics: Colonies reaching 25 mm diam on 2 % potato-dextrose agar1 (Difco) after 5 weeks at 25 °C; erumpent with moderate grey to white-grey aerial mycelium; margins regular but feathery; colonies grey-olivaceous to smoke-grey with zones of white-grey aerial mycelium; olivaceous-black in centre; colonies fertile. Typus: South Africa, Western Cape Province, Bettie's Bay, Harold Porter Botanical Garden, on leaves of Wachendorfia thyrsiflora, 4 Jan. 2006, collected by M.K. Crous & P.W. Crous, CBS-H 19763, holotypus; cultures ex-type CPC 12736 = CBS 120121, CPC 12737-12738.
